My mum is amazing, my dad... Doesn't really know how to be a dad. He's got major issues and hasn't really been there. He has drug problems but I can't help but always make time for him. He's a dick who makes bad choices and can be very cruel but I can never cut him out =/

They did everything in their power to give both my brother and I a head start in life.
They adopted us both, even though I had an incurable heart condition in which not much is known about life expectancy, and my brother was diagnosed with bipolar at a really early age.
Foster kids with issues are rarely ever adopted.
I used to think they were really strict growing up, but looking back I can understand why they had the rules they did and a lot of them I'll probably use for my own daughter. We get along great now too.

They paid our way through college/university, paid for both of our weddings so we could start our marriages debt free etc.

They made a point of making memories and experiences with us rather than leaving us to our own devices for entertainment etc. I now have tons of traditions I want to continue with my husband and daughter that they started with my brother and I.
